The length is a litter longer than I wanted, but I like the jacket so I cut two more.
The back length is perfect in that it gives great coverage and it has a straight edge.

Knit Cardi-Wrap
Simplicity SewSimple 1961 was made using a micro-pique knit. The pattern comes in sizes XXS-XG and it can be tied in the front. Yes, it's black because it is simply time out (in my area of the country) for a sweater and it can worn with my next maxi dress.
The fabric was a little too thick for the hemming-foot, so I used the open-toe foot. It was an easy job hemming this jacket because the foot keeps the fabric straight and housed between each side of the foot. I really appreciated the nice looking effortless mitered corners.

Helen, it's kind of sad that I have closets filled with clothes. I retired from teaching and have given away some. I'm thinking about refurbishing some of them.
DeleteThis is So Wonderful! How much fabric does it take? I bought a knit last summer for a cardigan but think this would be a lovely option if I have enough.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjorie. It takes 2 5/8 yds of 60" fabric for the XL which is a 46" bust. Wishing you the best.
